A hilarious Cornish couple have shared a first wedding dance with a difference - by busting moves to the Baby Shark song.

Wanting to share a laugh with everyone at their wedding disco, Kirsty and Darren Dawes, from Redruth, cheekily asked the DJ to play the song from the viral YouTube video.

The song, about a shark family, has become a hit sensation with children and adults around the world - including Kirsty and Darren's two small kids, Ethan and Amelia, aged four and one, who sadly fell asleep LONG before it was played.

But guests enjoyed it nonetheless, with everyone joining in with the Baby Shark moves and having the time of their lives. Watch the video above to see them all in action.

"Everyone has said it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to," said Kirsty, a 28-year-old healthcare worker.

"Our kids both love it and we thought it would be a good way to get them involved in the wedding, but by that point they had gone to sleep. But everyone joined in and were laughing so much. It's all over Facebook now and there's been lots of people watching it."

The Baby Shark song was created by a YouTube channel called Pinkfong - a Korean channel for kids. It makes videos of sing-along songs and dances.

The song was first released in November 2015, but became viral in south east Asia last summer. This year it's taken off in the UK and around the world racking up more than 1.6bn views. It's also in the top most-viewed videos ever on the site.

It was the week before their wedding that Kirsty and builder Darren, who met seven-and-a-half years ago at Carharrack social club, decided to pop the question (not that question) to their DJ, who thankfully said yes to playing said song.

And on Saturday, September 15, after Kirsty and Darren tied the knot at Lanner Methodist Church, they headed down to Penmorvah Manor for their wedding breakfast and evening meal.

After sharing their real first dance to Ed Sheeran's How Would you Feel, the DJ then blasted out the Baby Shark song and lifted the roof of the building.

Now the loved-up pair are on their way to Greece with their two children to have 11 days in the glorious sunshine for their honeymoon.

Kirsty added: "We decided it wasn't fair to leave them at home because they were passed from pillar to post at the wedding, and we wanted to have them with us. It's a nice way of starting our marriage all together."
